A seventh unit, BNSF 141 (Warbonnet GP60M) was parked alone on the cement tracks. Caboose BN 12568 was also tied down on the cement tracks...

ATSF 999755 - sandwiched between Set 2 & 3, fuel track.

ATSF 999795 was still seen at the Commerce RIP facility as of Friday (6/17/11) for repairs.

Mr. MRL - not bad, 6/7 red & silvers...

Have been by there a lot lately and all GP60M power. On Wednesday I saw three jobs at La Mirada one being the 1st LM I saw at 12:30 hours. I think I saw the 4th Rivera around 18:40 hours working La Mirada Yard. Then the 5th La Mirada around 23:45 hours at Fullerton with that BN crummy on the rear. On Friday no La Mirada jobs were on duty around 14:20 since I heard nothing on AAR 3232.

Kinda weak assumption that no jobs were on duty at 1420 Friday just because CH32 was silent, isn't it? You should have checked the crew lobby...

Sorry Robbie I didn't see them on duty at least at La Mirada Yard not saying they could have been on duty elsewhere at least when I was driving by even by looking out and listening to CH32 I just saw no action in the yard on Friday. I didn't hear the Yardmaster at the yard at all unlike how I did on Wednesday.
